I'm a businesswoman. I am a music lover. I like for people to like my music. When you listen to top 40 radio, you hear pop stuff. You hear rock stuff. You hear all these different influences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music is my living. I enjoy selling my music.
I think no matter how you think about your music, you're ultimately in the music 'business.' I think you have to be business-minded in some sense. And for me, the real goal... is positive intention and social change through music. It doesn't mean that can't turn a profit.
I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound, and knowing the music business the way I do-all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.
When you're in the music business, everything is very personal, because you are invested in everything; there's a very deep, personal attachment to your music.
I've always treated the music business as a business.
I am in a business that's built on record sales and reputation and how your single is doing and where your song is on iTunes. But the kind of music that I do comes from my beliefs.
Lots of people, from what I can see, just want to get into the music business for the glamour of it. But there isn't any, really. It's so up and down this industry, but if you really love it, nothing can stop you.
I listen to all kinds of music - new music, old music, music of my colleagues, everything.
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is.
I'm in the music business for one purpose - to make money.
